Write the polynomial in standard form. Then name the polynomial based on its degree and number of terms.
2 - 11x^2 - 8x + 6x^2
(1 point)
A. -5x^2 - 8x + 2; quadratic trinomial
B. -5x^2 - 8x; quadratic trinomail
C. -6x^2 - 8x - 2; cubric polynomial
D. 6x^2 - 8x + 2; cubric trinomial
To write the given polynomial in standard form, we combine like terms:
2 - 11x^2 - 8x + 6x^2
Combine the like terms:
(2 - 8x) - (11x^2 - 6x^2)
Simplify:
2 - 8x - 5x^2
Therefore, the polynomial in standard form is -5x^2 - 8x + 2.
Based on its degree and number of terms, the name of the polynomial is:
B. -5x^2 - 8x; quadratic trinomial
